Pics of drop spindles vs. stock spindles??????

I bought my truck awhile ago and it is lowered but I am not sure if it is just lowering springs or if it is also drop spindles. I was wondering if anyone has a picture of what drop spindles look like next to stock spindles. I have a 88-98 c3500.

Thanks

No one has any pics of them? I am trying to find out what I have.

Look up a set on any seller's website and just look at where the stub axle is centered in the spindle casting. It's pretty obvious and you'll be able to tell from looking at the back of yours while they're still on the truck, no biggie.

OK, since I'm such a nice guy and telling you how easy it is, here's a set of Belltech drop spindles for a GMT400 dually.



A stock spindle will have the axle lower on the casting, 3" lower, for that model.

If it helps give a little perspective, here's a pic comparing half ton stock spindles to 2" drop spindles:
